A couple of years ago my brother and his best friend, J-yella (that's my code name for him) acted in a film called Steppin, the Movie.  Its a low budget film centered around black fraternaties and sororities and the tradition of "stepping".  The fraternities in the movie were fictional, but people familiar with black fraternities and sororities will recognize which real organizations are represented by the fictional ones.  My brother was cast as a member of Chicken Phi Alpha.  All of these guys were HUGE.  My brother at the time was big, but nowhere near as big as the main characters.  When I asked him why they cast him in that role he answered, "shit, cuz I was fat!" His best friend, J-yella quickly replied with, "But he was the skinniest one, though!". 

 

J-yella was cast in the role of a member of Gamma Theta Zeta.  Gamma Theta Zeta is the main rival in the story so J-yella gets some pretty good screen time.  Chicken Phi Alpha, my brother's fraternity is comic relief in the story.  Here are some stills I took from the trailer (sshhhhh, don't tell anyone!):

 

 

Here's a pic of J-yella trying to act like a snotty frat boy. The guy holding the paddle is Chico Benymon from the television show Half and Half.

 

 

Here's another one of J-yella with his frat brothers showing off in the "yard".

 

 

Here's my baby brother in a scene of the Chicken Phi Alpha Barbeque - don't blink or you'll miss him!  He assures me that you see more of him during the climax of the movie which is the big step show.

 

 

Here's another angle of him in the same scene.

 

 

Here's a clearer picture of him. (He doesn't usually have bamboo growing out of his head, though. LOL!)

How extremely cool!!!! Many kudos to your brother.

The only family member I know of in a movie is an in-law. The guy that played "Meat" or something in the original Porky's....

Not the sort of thing I advertise... lol

That's awesome!!  I'm sure you're so proud!!

Did your brother lose all that weight?  I'm jealous. 

Oh, and like you didn't already know it, he's not bad to look at either

Re: My Baby Brother is in a Movie Ya'll!!!!!!!
I'm very proud of the little knucklehead.  He lost some of the weight, but not all. He's still working on it. 

Oh brother, if I start telling him my friends think he's cute he'll get an even bigger head than he has now.

Re: My Baby Brother is in a Movie Ya'll!!!!!!!
How old is he?  You don't look more than late 20's or early 30's, so he might be close to my age.  He is cute!!  But he gets it from his big sister....'cept you're simply beautiful, mahvelous, dahlin!!

Re: My Baby Brother is in a Movie Ya'll!!!!!!!
So he is only 3 months older than me, lol....and I wasn't too off with your age either. 

Here I was all stoked cuz a guy I graduated h.s. with was drafted to the NFL.  Your baby bro is a movie star!!  Let's hope he takes his big sis to the awards shows, right?
